no by eyeball trying to match swatches that were the closest. I got the Apollo web page from someone else. the colors are great they match very well. the experience at home depot was not fun but i did finally get my paint as soon as i yelled at the paint guy. he completely ignored me for about 10 minutes... Lowes has better service.

I agree. I dislike home depot
Lowe's is better here and cheaper
I have a front sticker. I took that to Lowe's and they used an electrick eye to match mine. still need to paint mine. hope the colors match

Are there any good tutorials on painting a cab? I see a lot of references to rolling the paint on, and I'm surprised I don't see people talking about spray. Seems like you would get a better finish.

My guess is that they don't want to paint the parts prior to assembly.

Don't use the swatches.  Have them use the overlay and match it on the computer.  I have done this in the past to match paint we mixed ourselves, and it wasn't perfect but it was REALLY close.  On the wall nobody has noticed the difference.
